India (132/3) beat Bangladesh (127) comfortably by 7 wickets in the 1st T20I to take a 1-0 lead in the 3-match T20I series

[Devadwal]

May be they are missing the first over maidens from Kela lol

How can i forget that . We get rid of this selfish player and soon we won the ICC world T20.

We don't need any technique player's if they want to Play selfish cricket no matter what.

We want a player who can start attacking from ball one.

Its only 20 over cricket not a test match where you can Play tuk tuk or take 20+ ball for acceleration.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I watched the entire U19 tournament where Gill and Shaw proved their class and the Indian team was a class apart, including the bowlers Mavi and Nagarkoti. Hardly anybody noticed Abhishek Sharma then.

I disagree about the glorified hacks part. Jaiswal isn't a glorified hack. Gill isn't one either. Neither is Ruturaj Gaikwad or Sanju Samson.

Also, Rahane, when he was hitting sixes for CSK was still playing proper cricketing shots. He wasn't surviving on mistimed edges or miscues hit for six.

And you are right, I don't like Travis Head in T20s either. It was entirely his good fortune in the ODI WC final that he survived so many close calls.

But having said that, Abhishek Sharma is still not a patch on Travis Head who still knows how to play Test cricket. And can survive on much tougher pitches than the ones that are dished out in IPL.

Also, how many good seasons in the IPL has Abhishek Sharma had? Just one! So why is he being hyped so much?

Riyan Parag has had miserable seasons before and somehow made runs in ONE season and finds himself in the Indian squad. What a joke, honestly!

Explain what is hack about ABhishek sharma batting. He has higher back lift , bigger downswing. That makes him a hack?

Regarding why ABhishek is hyped because he brings two things to the table. One selfless aggressive six hitting up the order. Seocnd thing he can bow. even open the bowling. And a very good fielder. One of the reason India hasn't won anything in eons is because they lacked all rounders. This guy and Parag make up for two batsmen and one bowler.

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Two things happened today
First that over rated Rishad shown his place and second the refreshing attitude of indias next gen. Almost everyone batted at good rates

 

[bunda_bindaas]

On a serious note, I agree with you that this year's IPL was heavily biased towards batting. But you must understand that T20I matches are typically played on flat wickets. While it's fine if you don't rate Abhishek Sharma, you should acknowledge that cricket constantly evolves over time. Viv Richards had a strike rate of 90 in ODIs and he was the most destructive batter in the 1970s and 1980s. In today's era, a strike rate of 90 is considered low.

I'm all for evolution of cricket. I think the reverse-sweep is a great shot that adds to the game, even Test cricket. I think Bazball is great, even if it's not delivering the results for England.

India's win in Kanpur is absolutely phenomenal.

But I firmly believe that cricket, especially Test cricket, is the format where the cream of the crop settles. That's where you'll find the players who can be truly considered generational talents.

And some of those generational talents, as is their wont, have the mettle to prove their worth, quite soundly, and under all conditions, in T20s as well.

The game has evolved, but it will still be ruled by players who know how to play it the 'right' way, as presumptuous as it might sound!

He's not even an average fielder. He moves like a 35 year old in the field.

Parag's technique is not even worth a mention. You are wrong on many counts.

We'll see how it all pans out, no doubt in my mind how it will though.

Gill knows about him more than you and me as both trained together. He trusted him to open the bowling. He trusted him with his batting as captain. Pretty much every experts rate his talent including Travis head.

Not every player who plays cricket rules it. There have been numerous players who had a brief period of success but those played a significant role in the advancement of a country's cricket.

 

[bunda_bindaas]

No feet movement, no proper trigger movement, just a plod slightly to his left, high backlift, followed by a wild swing.

Which part of that description screams SOUND TECHNIQUE?

 

[bunda_bindaas]

Travis Head who bats with him in IPL? Gill who is his friend?

Yeah, color me unimpressed if I'm not exactly floored by the opinions of these two.

I'm talking about generational talents like Tendulkar, Lara, Kohli, Smith and Root (in Test cricket).

Rishabh Pant is one in Test cricket. Jaiswal, hopefully, will get there. Gill, hopefully too.

We'll see, but any sport, not just cricket, thrives on names like these to take its glory forward.

Flash-in-the-pans don't really count in the grand scheme of things.

Sport does thrive by the presence of generational talents. But we cannot overlook the fact that there are numerous players who come and go, albeit with short term success. However, their accomplishments still become memorable and contribute to the legacy of a country's cricketing history. Individual like Travis Head has contributed more for Australia than KL Rahul would ever do for India, who was seen as the next big thing 5-6 years ago.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Batsmen with no footwork, no technique and a propensity to plant one foot sideways to hit whatever comes their way are heralded as the new coming of Christ.

The new Tik-tok generation will deprive cricket of its true pleasures.

You will eat your words man.

Abhishek and Parag are all rounders. They will feature in T20’s for a long time considering both are only 21.

 

[bunda_bindaas]

Travis Head was a complete flop when India won its first Test series in Australia. He was discarded from the team as well. People have short memories!

It's great on his part that he came back, and I agree, luck or otherwise, he's been a great asset to Australia, of late.

And here's the thing -- KL just has this mental block. He has the talent, for sure, but something clearly has gone wrong, somewhere.

 

[bunda_bindaas]

You will eat your words man.

Abhishek and Parag are all rounders. They will feature in T20’s for a long time considering both are only 21.

Can you eat your words first? They both are NOT 21.

Abhishek Sharma played in the U19 cup in 2018, along with Parag. That's 6.5 years ago.

Are you suggesting they were both less than 15 years old in 2018?

We really shouldn't be calling over teams of this quality to play in India.

Neither do they generate any significant revenue nor are they competitive.

They have some good players (on paper), their own franchise league and I think a few players played IPL.

Yet India completely rolled them over with a second/third string side.

You are right when you say never found their feet. Almost all teams have had a decent run for a period in t20 cricket, but Bangladesh has always failed in this format.

In what context did he say it in?

Tagore does indeed look like Santa clause but did he say it in an insulting way to undermine his influence on begal and india as a whole or was he just comparing looks in general?

It depends on the context of how he said it.

For example I can say virat kohli looks like X Fictional character, but it doesn't inheritanly mean I'm insulting Virat unless I say it in a very insulting manner such as lol Virat looks like the Joker or something like that.

It depends on how he said it.

I out to another city, missed it, good thing I did. Or else I’d be cussing the d.mw.ts badly. This so called talented cricketer, someone that some of Indian hindus on this site love to boast about being some hindu great play from BD, called Liton Das is the most senior batsman in the BD team having started international cricket in 2015, I believe. But he still hasnt matured. In total 5 innings, thats 4test innings and 1 t20 in this tour he has scored less than 100 runs. Absolute waste of space. They call Babar Zimbabar? Please dont insult Babar like that ,Babar has scored tons, big scores against big teams. this liton is actually Litonbabwe! The real minnow basher.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Why didnt the give new younger players chance to shine theres a youngster Jishan looks promising big hitter. Instead the kept the buddha Mahmudullah who is 38 soon. Whys he sticking around in t20s? Next t20wc two more years away. Mosadekk Hossain is the natural replacement for Mahmudullah. I’d brought Mossadekk in for Rakibul who wont play a game. Mehdi Miraz is ok back up for t20s he aint a finisher though. Bat hin 3-5. Shanto needs to open in t20s with the ever so talented Liton Das.

They play t20 in test, odi style in t20s and test mindset in odis.

This is your pretty much future t20 players. Ind in this t20 series only missing Bumrah, Pant, Gill, Jaiswal. BD didnt have Rana, Taskin. So you scored heavily at such rate against sunday league bowler Khaled Ahmed who hasnt played test in years and Mahmud who comes decent at times if theres another proper pacer roughing up batsman from the other end. Why didnt you rest Bumrah, Ashwin for 2nd test. You played against BD b-side, bowling wise.

Test every win matters coz pts WTC, and you guys lost in 2 days.. we needed that win coz it’s all about points , a draw would had hurt us.

Bangladesh are pathetic in all formats. I’m fed up of mediocrity. Am gonna start supporting England the country of birth again in all formats, BD 2nd team in LOIS, not bothered about test much. . The Pak test win I said it before, was a fluke BATTING wise, but the bowling has been very good to exceptional at times in test for some time even in LOI’s last some years in general, especially if all the main pacers are available and playing. But the batting is toothless, weak, incompetent and let BD down for years. What do they do in the nets? Whys that Lanka coach still around? Why aint there any domestic regional city based t20s? I get that the Awami Dalal dictator Hasina had a corrupt awami fool Papon in charge of BCB before hence why it only looted the countrys wealth and didnt bother planning anything better. Now that the dictator gone what is the new bcb president doing to improve regional cricket or is it only dhaka centric cricket only? Its high time Bd has regional 50over format competition and domestic t20 with one or two foreigners allowed.

You left them players out to give then rest? they arent injured or anything. BD lost in 2days, and yes it was shameful. But bd missed frontline pacers. I dont think India wouldve scored at such rate against Rana Taskin or Ibadot.

Ebadot economy rate - 3.58 , average 47. Last played a match in June, 2023

Nahid Rana economy rate - 5.09, average - 42

Taskin Ahmed economy rate - 3.69, average - 45.


These were the pace stalwarts you were missing and India would not have scored quickly off ?

He said their front line pacers but not good bowlers to be fair u know

He's got as much connection to Aussie cricket as Imrans got to Israel.

I am a fan of Australian team since 2000. I don't have to be an Australian to support Australia.

It is the same reason why desis often support Argentina and Brazil in football. I myself support Argentina and Messi even though I am not from Argentina.

It seems like you expect everyone to be a blind nationalist.

BD should chase next game if they win the toss.

Chasing has an advantage.

Absolutely. That will provide more entertainment to the crowd. We can see some 220+ score and roll pathetic BD out for 125

One of the biggest problem with Bangladesh is the inability to score quickly against fast bowlers in T20.
Last 5 years Economy of fast bowlers against different teams ( only between regular test nations except Zimbabwe/Ireland)

Bangladesh has the worst scoring rate against fast bowlers. 7.05 Economy. ON an average a fast bowlers 4 overs concedes only 28 runs against BD.

Test every win matters coz pts WTC, and you guys lost in 2 days.. we needed that win coz it’s all about points , a draw would had hurt us.

We were missing 4 main players and still India whacked BD in 12 overs? You were not even competitive…hope you see the flaw in your logic.

WTC points. The worst rule in sports. Ever.

Example? The upcoming Pak-Eng series vs. Aus-Ind series. The winners of a test in Aus-Ind series will get less points than the winner of a test in Pak-Eng series. For playing the exact same game/format. How ridiculous is that?

Aus and Ind have to work harder and longer to earn same amount of points. Or, they can play less number of tests and earn the same!

If they play less, how will that promote test cricket?

On tours like this I miss Bangla cricket Forum and the wrist slitting

It is still around but they moved to Facebook. Forum is no more.

Can you eat your words first? They both are NOT 21.

Abhishek Sharma played in the U19 cup in 2018, along with Parag. That's 6.5 years ago.

Are you suggesting they were both less than 15 years old in 2018?

Big woop!
Abhishekbis 24 and Riyan is 22.

They both are very young and both are all rounders and terrific fielders. They both will feature in the Indian side for many years to come.

Parag will come good and Abhishek has already shown what he can do in international cricket. He already scored a century.

Good for you, less than 40% of India voted for Modi, but you hate 100% of Hindus and their beliefs, that much is clear cut.

Keep rolling out the excuses if it rocks your boat.

You are writing like you are following a Bollywood script. Take a chill pill.

I don't know why you are mad about me cheering for the Aussies.
